Egg Grapefruit Diet

The Egg Grapefruit Diet is one of many fad diets and promises fast weight loss.



The diet is also known as the Mayo Clinic Egg Diet but the Mayo Clinic never approved or endorsed it. Egg Grapefruit Diet The diet should be followed for 12 days, the egg and grapefruit diet menu is created around eating hard boiled eggs, grapefruit and little of anything else. It is a very low calorie diet plan – some versions based around only 800 calorie intake per day, which is much lower than the recommended daily calories minimum of 1200 calorie diet plans or 1300 calorie diet even for people trying to lose weight quickly.

There are a few variations of the egg and grapefruit diet which allow fruit, cheese and bread, But overall it is a calorie restriction diet which demands a strict following and eating only food from the menu.

WARNING: Research shows that grapefruit juice can interact with a number of medications, potentially causing
serious side effects.

How the Egg Grapefruit Diet Works? Grapefruit is one of the thermogenic foods (negative calorie diet food) – it means more calories are burned during digestion process then the fruit contains. So in theory the more grapefruit you eat the more calories you burn. As a fruit, grapefruits are good for you, as the health benefits of grapefruit help to prevent certain diseases. Grapefruit can interfere with medication and you should consult your doctor before going on the grapefruit and egg diet.

Egg white protein is considered the best type of protein. Nutritionists view this protein type as the standard when comparing to other proteins in other foods. A protein has a “biological value” which determines how efficiently a protein is used for growth. It is 93.7 for egg whites. Milk, fish, beef, and rice respectively have a bio value of 84.5, 76, 74.3, and 64. The higher the value, the better the protein is absorbed. This is why many bodybuilders include eggs in their diet. Also health benefits of eggs include preventing blood clots, stroke, and heart attacks, etc. Egg calories are relatively low.

If you decided to follow egg and grapefruit diet it may help you to lose 5 – 10 pounds but this is only a short term fix, you would not be able to stick to egg and grapefruit diet menu for long and you will then probably put the weight back on.
